Thanks for the link, Xavier. I added it to :
<http://revolution.lexicall.org/wiki/tiki-index.php? page=TechniquesGraphDrawing>
A page in the revolution wiki on graph drawing techniques.

That isn't to say that I
would be reluctant to add new functionality to existing
commands. As long as new arguments are optional, it wouldn't
break existing functionality. I think it is easier for
non-programmers to understand a greater number of simple
commands than a small number of complex commands.

TAOO, my working environment and framework in Rev or MC is just
like that too but distributed over a growing dozen of "object" class
stacks each with the object's verbs... There's some 200-600KB of
scripts available any time for any taoo component. I dont event
have to look at any script reference ever since it's so obvious
to listObjects, findFile, relatekeywords, etc...


No, thank you, Dan and Marielle wanted a clear example of how taoo
works, and i just can't find the words or a way to make a simpler
example... This helped quite a bit...

The issue is not to get a concrete example of *what* your xos can do. The issue is to understand *HOW* your xos does it.

What I am trying to understand is whether the approach you take is useful for any person other than you. I have understood that anything can be done. Exactly the same way that about anything can be created using html, , laslzo, xul, flex, halo, c++, c, perl, python, etc. etc. etc. etc.). What would make the value of your xos system is not what it can potentially do... it is how cleverly component composition works in your XOS architecture.

Yes, Xavier tends to use the outdated name of object-orientation. But what xos is a lot more in line with an infrastructure for rapid widget creation or rapid software composition. A lot of persons seem to be interested in these issues on the list. That's no surprise, revolution has a fantastic potential. What I am personally interested in is exploring the possibility to have an online library of handlers and calling to them or integrating them on the fly could really speed up software development.

put url ("file:" & tfile) into thandler
do thandler

Call could be made to handlers in a central archive. This wouldn't be infringing the revolution license in any way because due to the 10 scripts limit, this would be possible only with a revolution license. To transform it into a standalone, something would be needed to transform call to handlers stored as text files (or stack or whatever) as content of the script.

The problem then is to come up with an excellent model of software composition. This takes a lot of work. So, thanks Xavier for all the hard work.
